edited by Sam Ezersky.

Recap

The puzzle featured a challenging but rewarding pangram, PLOWABLE. Solvers were treated to a mix of everyday words and more obscure vocabulary, including terms like LAPEL and PALPABLE. The presence of multiple words starting with 'PE' and 'PA' helped to make the puzzle more accessible.

The seven letters

P ABELOW

Every answer had to use P. The board accepted 54 words in all.
